Portrait of a Lounge on Fire

I get the impression that it's less "nothing happens", and more "nothing that I wanted to see when the premise of the show was first announced happens". Because the last two episodes have been anything but slow, and anything but empty.


Also, I love a slow burn. Otherwise Lost wouldn't be my favourite show of all time. AND THAT PAID OFF SO WELL IN THE END.



Wait.

Eh... Don't throw me in that category.

I have no issue with the themes, ideas or concepts and again, hanging with the admiral is great. The peek at the post Nemesis stuff is good. I like space samurai elf guy. I like gruff "swarthy" Riker guy.

But the ground they covered in six could have been done much faster. And you gotta admit... The Cube stuff with Black Keys Romulan and android girl moves at a snails pace and isn't as interesting or compelling as the show thinks it is. And that makes up literally half of the show.

Best ep so far? While I liked the intro of the Romulan samurai the Freecloud ep was my fave. It at least moved the story more forward than it had been, was loose and fun... And we didn't go back to the Cube once.

Coincidence?

And that's an issue. The thing this is all supposed to be about, what we are supposed to be invested in, the truth behind this girl and what the Romulans are up to, that stuff brings most episodes to a screeching halt.

Like... The next four NEED to be great.

Good thing Capt. Riker and Troi are on deck.

Finally.

Nah, I enjoy the cube stuff. The only cube stuff that I find redundant are the meetings between the Romulan Lannisters. Their scenes together are often just "hey, we need you to crack this robot egg" "I'm softening the egg" "Crack the egg, brother-lover". But the scenes with Soji I generally enjoy. Mostly because if they went from her believing herself to be a human to her figuring out she's an android too quickly, it would feel like whiplash. We already had that when her sister died after 2 minutes of screen time. Plus, it all built to Picard's moment on the cube, which is the best moment of the series and made it all worthwhile for me.

what the **** are y'all even talking about? can we please go back to bashing krypnot for being a backstabbing bastard with no honor?

We're just brother-loving egg crackers.

I mean, it's all in the same ballpark.

All of this has just distracted me from my true point, which is that Palpatine is the only political leader with a true vision for the galaxy, and he should have been given a chance to realize it. #FeelThePalpitations

"I know more than the Moffs and the Grand Admirals, okay? It's a thermo-exhaust port right below the main port... You'd have to be some kind of psychotic kid who did nothing but kill animals from long distances for fun to be able to hit that thing with any accuracy."

 

[Perfect Cell]

Let me just do a quick browse of the forums and offer my educated and not at all reactionary opinion on major topics, in quick succession:

1. The new Batmobile is cool.
2. No Time To Die probably isn't going to be very good anyways.
3. I don't give a **** about the X-Men in the MCU, but I will kill for the Fantastic Four.
4. Good for Sonic, I guess.
5. Wonder Woman 84 looks decent enough, but there's no chance in hell I'll see a DCEU movie in theatres anymore.
6. Movie novelizations are stupid and are to be disregarded at all times.
7. Go Blue Jays.

Stop running my jokes into the ground, I do that well enough on my own.

And they still haven’t announced the return of Dragonball Super. They need to get on that **** soon, as there’s only so much humour I can get from the Star Wars fandom performing autocannibalism.

If they don't bring back Cell, the show can rot in a ditch. I want Super Saiyan Blue Cell. I need it.

Well this is where I drink from the old green paint can and start speculating..But in the manga, they did in fact confirm that Cell Jrs survived and were subsequently trained to become park rangers.

Surely that means in a future arc we’re looking at full grown blue Cells preventing forest fires and cleaning up litter.

What a heartwarming story. They go from threatening to slit Krillin's throat to saving the environment. It's the Hero's Journey.

 

[Roose Bolton]

It’s about family, and that’s why it’s so powerful.

 

[Perfect Cell]

Just like Fast and the Furious.

Sorry. About that.

Holy crap this Sky is landfill song is really hard, I've seen more complicated songs? maybe, I always play both guitar parts by myself though. I realized I should just learn the basic chord changes and then do the more nuanced parts, but it's close to being borderline noodeling. I don't know these days if any cares about mastering the guitar though, but that being said the Sketches version is strangely slightly differing then the Grace around the World version. It's more stadium, and upbeat sounding while the sketches one is a little weird or really unpolished and unfinished sounding but it's hard to really notice these differences at first. I decided to try and speed it up a little later on when I've finished it by a couple of Beats maybe since by modern sensibilities it's slow. I know he wanted somebody to do this, to finish his songs kinda if they really liked and were enthusiastic about them. A lot of songs are a lot more sparse or easy but like Hendrix they sound good and interesting on their own, so like it's not just strumming but you can play by yourself or whatever.

Spoiler

It's just so frustrating I don't know if this is normal I tried catching up to that one youtube guitarist.

I almost have Panama finished, and a lot of Jeff Buckley's songs like Morning Theift, Sky is a landfill,Grace (obviously) I should do so real I guess, and then a few Muse songs. I have Time is Running out almost done and then, um, what else? Bold as Love by Jimi Hendrix and All Along the Watch Tower and Master o Puppets by Metallica. I guess that matches her, but recently I stopped and I almost forgot all the songs I learned partially. I feel somewhat lethargic and am struggling with mental health issues a bit so I get sick of playing guitar but I feel really depressed and don't know what else to do. I enjoy comic books and video games a bit but notihng really makes me feel like the guitar does but it's just so difficult.

Spoiler

(I hate love her)

 

[Tigerlaws]

I know it's odd writing randomly like that but it feels good to spew somewhere even partially for the unexpected hilarity and irksome nature of this kind of behaviour.

This will be me soon, it is cool to be gay.

Spoiler

I sorta wanted to try my hand at a few things like him, I wanted to cover this song as well

 

[Tigerlaws]

I want to do this song as well, I have to catch up! ahhh...watching other musicians especially relatively normal non-famous huge celebrity one's makes me feel more sane and secure in my life choices.


I must win! discipline, practice! everyday until my fingers are raw.

Spoiler

Tights!

Edit: I guess I am beating everyone, but at the cost of any social life, but then, when will that ever change...? I'm not saying it's always secretly been suicide...oh I just can't wait to get a costume and then hopefully play live all over places like LA and then hopefully get laid all the time and then I may or may not give up IDK.

Spoiler

And then hopefully maybe I can find happiness and peace afterwards and stop being so sad and/or troubled. I should have learned architecture or engineering I guess but *shrugs* then I can put weird indie music on soundcloud all the time
